We recently advised a friend to visit Anse Marcel when in port on a cruise. They encountered burned out cars and buildings. Hard to believe the cruise line did not warn against this. Their words not mine.

Just how bad is it on the French side? Also, we usually dine in GC at least once (staying on Dutch side) but have learned Piazza Pascal was sold so that's out. What GC restaurants survived IRMA and are recommended.?
